What you decide will affect the nation, the world, and the rest of your lives. You swore an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies both domestic and foreign. Following illegal orders puts you in direct conflict with that oath and puts you in harm's way. Research what happened to the Gestapo, SS, and the Nazi when they claimed they were just following orders. Why did you enlist?
Horses and Heroes is a documentary TV series that combines highly effective Peer Support Therapy with Equine Therapy. Unlike most in the genre, it will focus on healing and positive growth rather than endorsing bad behavior. Each season will bring together veterans from WWII to the current conflicts. They will share their challenges and support each other as they find new solutions to their physical and emotional challenges. They know the talk because they have walked the walk. They see the dodges and will be able to call each other on them. Sparks may fly. Tempers may flare, especially when they force each other to face their ghosts. But there will also be laughter and fun as they rebuild the camaraderie, which kept them safe and strong. The snarkiness and practical jokes between the branches don't simply end. There is always room for just one more. This interaction will help them rebuild that sense of brotherhood and sisterhood they depended on while serving, which will help them reclaim their civilian lives. When it airs, it will reach the homes of the veterans, who need to hear that they are not alone and give them information as well as the permission they need to also heal. They will help each other find their way back to the world. Veterans can’t go back and make a brand new start, but they can start from now and make a brand new end.
